Objective To investigate the relationship between subclinical cervical HPV infection and recurrence of condyloma acuminatum (CA) in patients. Methods Cervical swabs were collected from 52 patients with frequently recurrent CA, 55 patients with infrequently recurrent CA, and 65 normal human controls. The Cenechip method was performed to detect the presence and type of HPV in cervical swabs followed by a statistical analysis. Results HPV was found in 67.3% (35/52) of swabs from patients with frequently recurrent CA, 5% (19/55) from patients with infrequently recurrent CA, and 4.6% (3/65) in the controls. There was a statistical difference among the three groups in the detection rate of HPV. Conclusion The subclinical cervical HPV infection may contribute to the recurrence of CA.

Objectives To study the current prevalence and recent epidemiological changes of Helicobacter pylori (H. pylori) infection among children and adults residing in regions with high ( Muping, Shandong) and low (Yanqing, Beijing) incidence of gastric cancer in China. Methods A total of 2065 asymptomatic children aged 8-15 years and adults aged 40-79 years in the above two regions were examined from May to July 2006. The data obtained in early 1990s in the same two areas and those of 11 656 patients undergoing endoscopy in our hospital in 1991 and 2006 were also collected and studied. Results The prevalence ofH. pylori infection in Muping was significantly higher than that in Yanqing among both children (37.69% vs25.58%, P<0.001) and adults (50.95% vs41.35%, P < 0. 01 ). From 1991 to 2006 H. pylori prevalence among children aged 8-10 years decreased in Muping (60. 00% vs 32. 07% , P < 0.001), but not in Yanqing (24.06% vs 19.10%, P > 0. 05 ) . A significant decrease in H. pylori prevalence among adults in both regions was observed when the results of 2006 were compared with the data obtained in 1990 in Muping (50.95% vs 73.78% , P < 0. 001 ) and in 1992 inYanqing (41.35% vs 55. 35% , P < 0. 01 ) . The detected rate of H. pylori infection in patients undergoing endoscopy in our hospital decreased from 51. 88% in 1991 to 33. 59% in 2006 (P <0. 001). Conclusions The prevalence of H. pylori infection is significantly higher in areas with a high incidence of gastric cancer in China as compared with that in areas with a low incidence of gastric cancer among both children and adults. H. pylori infection may be a risk factor in gastric carcinogenesis. In the past decade or more, H.pylori infection rates have decreased in Chinese population.

Objective:To analyze the impact of previous exposure to macrolide, quinolones and nitroimidazole antibiotics on eradication rate of bismuth quadruple therapy (BQT) in newly diagnosed patients with Helicobacter pylori( H. pylori). Methods:A total of 469 patients with H. pylori initially treated at the Third Hospital of Peking University from September 2017 to August 2020 were retrospectively recruited. The therapeutic regimens were BQT containing clarithromycin/levofloxacin/metronidazole recommended by Chinese guidelines. Clinical data were collected, including general demographic data, exposure history of antibiotics, CYP2C16 metabolic pattern, endoscopic diagnosis, bacterial density, H.pylori resistance, eradication results, etc. Univariate analysis, Chi-square test, Fisher exact probability test, Kruskal-Wallis H test and Logistic regression model were used as statistical methods. Results:Among different eradication therapies, univariate and multivariate analyses suggested that previous exposure to macrolides ( OR=3.37,95 %CI 1.04-10.98, P<0.05) was relevant to the decreased eradication rate of BQT containing clarithromycin. This may be due to increased resistance to clarithromycin ( OR=6.12,95 %CI 3.99-9.40, P<0.01).The previous exposure to quinolones ( OR=3.65, 95 %CI 1.27-10.49, P<0.05) was relevant to the decreased eradication rate of BQT containing levofloxacin, which was probably explained by the increased resistance to levofloxacin ( OR=2.50, 95 %CI 1.69-3.71, P<0.01). But the previous history of nitroimidazole did not impact the efficacy of BQT containing metronidazole. Conclusions:In patients newly diagnosed with H.pylori infection, the previous exposure to macrolide or quinolones antibiotics is related to lower eradiation rates of H. pylori. Although the exposure to nitroimidazole also indicates drug resistance to metronidazole, the clinical efficacy of BQT with metronidazole 400 mg four times a day is not affected.

Objective:To investigate the clinical characteristics of patients with malignant tumors and immune checkpoint inhibitors (ICI) related multisystem adverse events as well as therapeutic efficacy of ICI.Methods:The general data, immune-related adverse events (irAE) type, onset time, severity and ICI efficacy of patients with malignant tumors who developed irAE after receiving ICI in China-Japan Friendship Hospital between January 2019 and November 2021 were retrospectively analyzed. All patients were divided into multisystem irAE group and single system irAE group according to whether patients with more than 1 organ or system developed irAE for once. The occurrence of irAE was summarized, and the clinical characteristics of patients were compared. Progression-free survival analysis was not performed owing to the pause of immunotherapy caused by some irAE, so the efficacy of ICI was evaluated by using ICI treatment duration (TD).Results:A total of 47 patients with malignant tumors and irAE were included in this study, with 70 times of irAE in total. The median onset time was 90 d (35 d, 196 d). Among them, 12 patients (25.53%) developed multisystem irAE (32 times of irAE in total); the other 35 patients (74.47%) developed single system irAE (38 times of irAE in total). Cutaneous toxicity for 7 times, thyroid toxicity for 7 times and pulmonary toxicity for 5 times were the most frequent among multisystem irAE group; pulmonary toxicity for 13 times, thyroid toxicity for 12 times and cutaneous toxicity for 5 times were the most frequent among single system irAE group. There were no statistically significant differences in the proportion of patients stratified by age, gender, the combination of other treatments and different body mass between the two groups (all P > 0.05). The median follow-up time was 20 months (9-40 months). The median TD of ICI was 16.00 months (95% CI 3.62-31.22 months) in multisystem irAE group and 4.60 months (95% CI 4.12-11.30 months) in single system irAE group; TD in multisystem irAE group was longer than that in single system irAE group, and the difference was statistically significant ( HR = 0.413, 95% CI 0.202-0.844, P = 0.038). Conclusions:The efficacy of ICI in patients with malignant tumors and multisystem irAE is better than that in those with single system irAE. It suggests that the better efficacy of ICI may be associated with greater risk of irAE. There is no significant difference in the clinical features between multisystem irAE and single system irAE.
10.Epidemiological characteristics of 107 pediatric partients with COVID-19 during the initial phase of the outbreak
Chinese Journal of School Health 2020;41(5):654-656
Objective:
To describe the epidemiological characteristics and clinical manifestations of the 2019 coronavirus disease (COVID-19) in pediatric patients, and to provide data support and decision-making basis for the prevention and control of COVID-19.
Methods:
Cases of children aged 0-17 years reported by provincial health commissions in Anhui, Shandong, Zhejiang and Henan provinces were collected to analyze their spatial, temporal, and demographic distribution.
Results:
By 24:00 on February 6, 2020, a total of 107 pediatric patients had been reported in the four provinces, accounting for 3.8% (107/2 808) of the total cases reported in the four provinces during the same period. Anhui, Shandong, Zhejiang and Henan provinces had 25, 25, 28 and 29 cases, respectively. Cases ranged in age from 5 days after birth to 17 years, with a median age of 8 years. Boys accounted for 58.9%. Totally 38 cases had a history of sojourn in Wuhan or Hubei, 63 cases had a history of exposure to confirmed cases, and 6 cases with unknown exposure history. A group of 52 family clustering were found in 107 cases. All cases presented mild symptoms, no serious and no death.
Conclusion
Children were also susceptible to the COVID-19. Before February 2, the index pediatric cases were mainly the first generation cases, and after February 3, these pediatric cases were mainly the secondary-generation cases and those who had close contact with confirmed cases. The monitoring of children with secondgeneration cases and close contact with COVID-19 cases were valued.
